The shit down the diving boards in salthill in Galway because people werenāt socially distanced enough when wait their turn to jump in. In the height of summer with low levels of covid. In the name of jaysus.

youāve gone chasing likes. Sad to see
Big crowds of people at the 40 Foot at the moment. I just made a post in the swimming thread about something that happened there this morning.
I said it at the time as well. Iāve been remarkably consistent.
Iāll go and look it up now.
course you have, youāre great sure.
Donāt be tagging me with lies bud.
Itās a global pandemic. Time for people to get real, pull together and save Christmas.

Thanks. I never have done and wouldnāt be inclined to but Iāll keep it in mind anyway.
There is none of this true
Why would people be irritated at people not social distancing,lad? When the numbers were low?
A number of reasons
- They may be vulnerable or caring for somebody that is vulnerable to the disease
- They may be assholes and just looking to create trouble
- They may see people not social distancing and know that if this behaviour becomes widespread we will end up with further restrictions down the line because of you know, a contagious virus spreading.
But sure you know everything.
On a diving board? Outside? Bollox. How long do you have to be standing within two metres of someone outdoors to be considered at risk? 30 seconds? I donāt think so.
sure do away with social distancing outside altogether then, unfortunately you donāt get to pick and choose social distancing for activities you like or donāt like etc. Like going on planes or jumping off diving boards
Our local Tesco re-opened after a year recentlyā¦ It was part of a complex that suffered fire damage last last year. So the new system for entering is an electronic red/green board for stop /go, you lot are probably well familiar with itā¦ but they still have a lady monitoring the crowd from inside.
So Iām stood behind a chap last Saturday waiting for the green lightā¦all of us with masks onā¦ Iām about a foot and a half behind your man, not quite the full two feet and I see him edging away . Grand, lave him off says I to meselfā¦ Anyway the light went green and brains obviously hadnāt twigged the system and was waiting for the shop assistant to wave him onā¦ I stepped forward when it went green anticipating brains would walk forward himself but he didnātā¦ The thick cunt rounded on me shouting about space and making hand gestures about 2 meters, in pure Cork fashionā¦ I barked back that the light is FUCKING green you can enter the storeā¦and if the cunt wasnāt wearing a mask Iād like to think he was red faced from embarrassmentā¦ But I doubt it. I walked close enough up behind him and called him a thick cunt but he kept walking so I half followed him (we were actually headed to the same section) to freak him out. What a fucking cunt bagā¦ Iād have no problem with any nicely asking would I mind stepping back if they felt I was encroaching. But he was about 30 odd and looking to make a big scene for the sake of it.
I was fucking fuming so I was ā¦ Herr Holohan has these fuckers brain washed.

Is this true? Iāve seen a few funerals that havenāt had times and dates put on them. Have had to ring the undertaker for information.
Theyāre gas operators really. They claimed the last leak wasnāt them and wasnāt in the interests of public health. Before criticism of the leak had even become a thing, Mary Favier of NPHET had been on Morning Ireland āspeaking in a personal capacityā about the need to move to Level 5.
Iād be interested to hear this story from his point of view
Thatās a petulant response and you can do better than that.
The general guidance is stay two metres from people, even outdoors. It was designed with sneezing and coughing in mind.
Iām not sure how long you need to spend within two metres of someone in an indoor setting in order to be considered a close contact but suffice it to say that people going up the diving boards and jumping off them in salthill werenāt within two metres of each other for probably even 30 seconds for Christ sake. Outdoors in the sun high up and maybe thereās a bit of a breeze. I see no risk in it.
Itās utter bollox that people canāt perceive that that was not a risky activity. It brought some semblance of normality and joy for a brief time and should have been let alone. It should have been encouraged. Instead you have the preachy āunfortunately you donāt get to pick and choose social distancingā comments and social media haranguing and still images taken out of context and hysterical calls for new laws and fines and something to be done for godās sake those people arenāt socially distanced.
Thatās not a good way to live with covid. A good way to live with covid would be to encourage people to do safe activities that are safe while infection rates allow.
Some fucking people eh mate 
you can do safe activities safely. Social distancing is the way you do them safely.
